There's one lens that caught my interest the most and that is the 10-18mm F4. I've been looking for a good super-wide angle lens with auto iris and focus. Until now, that left me with only one option: the 16mm pancake lens with the ultra wide converter. But you couldn't use a ND filter on the lens, once the ultra wide converter was mounted on front of the pancake lens. So when you're filming outside on a sunny day, you have to use a high f-value and / or use a higher shutter speed to get the correct exposure. I was and still am very happy with this lens combination for use on the Blackbird stabilizer. The lens is very light and you'll have a good wide view with auto iris and focus, which can be very handy at times.

Sony's new E-mount 10-18mm f4 super-wide zoom lens (SEL-1018)

The newly announced 10-18mm (15-27mm in 35 mm-camera equivalency) super-wide zoom lens would be a great alternative to the 16mm pancake lens & ultra wide converter because of it's slightly wider view, built-in optical SteadyShot image stabilization system, option to use ND (and other) filters and have a zoom range of 10mm to 18mm. It's also very light at approximately 8 oz / 225g. << Now in stock! The Sony SEL1018 E-mount lens - $848.00 >>
